Chapter 118 Give it to me, I'm thirsty and hungry, I can't care about it anymore
Xiaotao followed beside her and whispered: "Sister Chang'an, your voice sounds like a female ghost. Let's not go there, lest we be possessed by a ghost. My mother said that some ghosts like to lie on people's backs. As soon as you turn around, she will be possessed by them."
It sucks away the yang energy."
Luo Changan's back felt cold after hearing this, "Why is your mother telling you this?"
"Scare me and tell me to go to sleep quickly. She is very tired after working all day, and I am very energetic and don't want to sleep." Xiao Tao swallowed, "Won't your mother tell you this kind of bedtime story?"
"Don't tell it." Only emperors would tell ghost stories like this. My mother is so gentle that she doesn't want to scare me.
"Ah? I thought every child would listen to this before going to bed." Xiao Tao's young mind was shocked. When she went to bed at night, she had to ask my mother why she treated me like this.
Luo Changan handed the basket full of plum blossoms and lanterns to Xiaotao. Although he was timid, he couldn't help but had something on his mind to deal with, so he said, "Take the plum blossoms and I'll go see what's going on."
Xiao Tao held the basket and said, "Don't go, sister Chang'an, I see your face has turned pale with fear."
"Don't try to persuade me. I'm just scared. It's nothing serious. I'll go take a look." Luo Changan waved his hand and went to the front without saying another word.
When she came to the door, she leaned against the door and looked into the yard through the half-open door. She saw an old woman who had just kicked over a disheveled woman and cursed: "What are you drinking?"
Water, there is no water for you to drink. If you die early, it will save us all trouble and save some food for the palace."
The woman kept sobbing and begging, "Mommy, please."
By the moonlight, Luo Changan saw the face of the woman with disheveled hair. It was the Xi concubine who had been thrown into the cold palace after the trial a few days ago. Two months later, this Xi concubine was almost no longer human.
Xibi lay on the ground, hugged the nanny's calf, and begged again: "Mommy, give me something to stutter. If I go out in the future, I will remember your kindness and repay you like a cow or a horse."
The nanny sneered coldly, spat, and said in a loud voice: "Get out? Since the previous dynasty, no woman who has entered this cold palace has ever left. You still want to get out."
Xibi held her belly while sobbing, "Mommy, please, please, I haven't drank water for three days. I'm really thirsty. Please give me a way to survive."
"I don't have water. If I have water, I won't give it to you to drink. You can eat shit and drink urine." The grandma simply returned to the house at the door and ignored the Xi concubine, thinking that these ladies used to be aloof and never touched her.
If you fall into my hands today, you will not have a good life.
With a dry voice, Xibi shouted hoarsely to the nanny, begging her to come back, "Nanny, please have mercy on me."
Luo Changan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. Two months ago, the Xi concubine was still a proud and noble lady, but two months later, she was reduced to kowtow and kneel down to a cold palace nun to beg for her life. A person really needs to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and she can't do it just because of the current situation.
When you are good for a while, you forget about everything.
Luo Changan couldn't help but remind himself.
When she saw this, she stepped into the cold palace, came to the gatehouse where the nanny was waiting, and said with a smile: "Mommy, are you resting?"
The nanny took a quick look and saw that the person coming was Luo Changan, a popular figure next to the Queen Mother. She immediately laughed and said, "Miss Chang'an, it's you. Look at that man lying like a dog in the inner hall. He's almost dead."
It’s 888. Do you recognize who that bitch is?”
Luo Changan heard that the woman's words were very unpleasant, but he remained calm and said, "I recognize her. Isn't she the Xi concubine?"
The woman had a malicious look on her face, "She framed you for stealing, so I'll take good care of her for you! Bah, you're so shameless, you actually framed a girl from Chang'an."
It is common for women to be pushed down when the wall falls down. Most of the women in the cold palace died of illness. Now that Luo Changan saw the plight of the Xi concubine, he knew that most of them were tortured to death.
This woman is currently close to Luo Changan, mainly because of Luo Changan's recent humiliation in front of the Queen Mother.
Luo Changan knew very well that if his teaching master was on the edge, the mother-in-law would not treat Luo Changan as a human being.
Luo Changan smiled slightly, then took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and handed it into the old nanny's hand, "Mommy, I'll go take a look at her."
The grandma's eyes shone when she touched the silver. One tael of silver was her salary for several months. Even if she didn't eat and drink, she wouldn't be able to save it for more than half a year.
She bit the silver with her teeth and liked it very much. She thought Luo Changan wanted to go in to take revenge, so she said enthusiastically: "Go ahead and go in. As long as she doesn't get any obvious injuries, I'll pretend I didn't see the old lady."
.”
"Then just rest and don't look at it no matter what noise you hear. I know it well." Luo Changan said and walked out of the gate.
The mother-in-law only focused on being intimate with the silver and didn't look at Luo Chang'an anymore. She thought that I had great luck today and got one or two silver coins. How many people come to see that bitch every day, I will make a fortune!
Luo Changan walked to the kitchen, brought a bowl of water and a dry steamed bun, and then came to the hall, "My queen, this servant is here to see you."
When Xi Bin heard the voice, she raised her dirty face, saw Luo Changan's face through the candlelight, and couldn't help but shrink, "Luo Changan, it's you..."
"Yes, it's me. Miss Xibi, I haven't seen you in February. You've become much thinner."
Luo Changan's words, which had no emotion at all, sounded particularly ironic and harsh to Xi Bin's ears under this situation.
"What are you here for? Are you...are you here for revenge?" Xibi was already frightened and said in fear: "No...don't kill me."
"Empress, don't worry, I'm not here to seek personal revenge, and I won't beat or kill you. That's not my intention."
Luo Changan helped Xi Bin up and asked her to sit down against the pillars of the main hall. Only then did he see that Xi Bin was covered in dried blood. She had obviously suffered a lot of torture in the clan mansion.
"Although I, Luo Changan, am not a good person in the complete sense, I will not commit murder and arson easily."
Xi Bin then looked at Luo Changan in astonishment. She never thought that after suffering the inhumane treatment in February, the first person to treat her as a human being and call her "mother" would be the Luo Changan whom she had framed. She couldn't help but think
Feeling guilty.
"Ms. Xibi, please drink some water and eat some steamed buns. I will come tomorrow and bring you something good." Luo Changan handed over the water and dried steamed buns, "I can only accommodate you for now."
"Good Chang'an, give it to me quickly. I'm thirsty and hungry, and I can't care about so many things anymore."
Xibi was very thirsty and hungry. She grabbed the water bowl and drank for a while. Then she ate the steamed buns with big mouthfuls. She ate more than half of the steamed buns in a short while, which relieved her hunger and thirst. She couldn't help but feel sad.
, cried out bitterly, "I only hate myself for making wedding clothes for others and becoming a gun in other people's hands."
